Don’t expect Lonzo Ball to play this season

Lonzo Ball has not played a single game yet this season and there are no guarantee’s that he plays at all. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Ball is currently rehabbing that knee and experiencing pain that is creating setbacks. He also adds that there are no guarantees he plays this season.

“There are no guarantees, I’m told, that he plays at all this season. He’s rehabbing that knee now, he’s still feeling some pain in it,” said Wojnarowski.

Chicago is hoping to get more information about Ball’s injury come the All-Star break in mid-February, previously there was hope of him returning in early 2023; however, plans have changed (obviously) and they are looking for some good news come mid-February.

His tenure with the Bulls have been very rocky. In 2021-22, he only played in 35 games and, in this season, has yet to play in a single game.

Lonzo Ball SHUT DOWN as he is opting for surgery!

Lonzo Ball SHUT DOWN as he is opting for surgery! The Bulls are not too thrilled as their starting point guard will be out for an extensive period of time. Ball, who signed with the team on August 9th of 2021, is now having to face considerable time off due to injury.

Names such as Alex Caruso and Zach LaVine, have also taken turns of being injured and/or having COVID-related issues.

The injury for Ball surrounds his left knee as he will be opting for arthroscopic surgery; the expected timeline for Ball is between 6 to 8 weeks. It is worthy to mention in his early years in the NBA, with the Lakers, he suffered a torn meniscus that forced him out of a few weeks. Good news for the up-and-coming point guard, he was able to kick off training camp.

Overall, the Bulls will be looking to add to their momentum as they want to do it quickly and effectively without Ball. Key for the Bulls is to do it wither without their stars; adding consistency in the mix too.

CourtSideHeat will continue to provide updates as given, however, for now, we can just wait and see what happens during their break from Lonzo.

LaVar Ball DEMANDS Lonzo Ball be traded IMMEDIATELY!

LaVar Ball DEMANDS Lonzo Ball be traded IMMEDIATELY! Haters, or idiots, will say this is clickbait. However, to be honest, this is anything but click bait. When you have a man that says that he can beat Jordan, give LiAngelo a $40 million dollar contact and Lonzo a $100 million dollar contract… that’s insanity.

Sadly, he has to say that. Not because he is their father, simply because he is delusional. Besides all of that, this is something interesting. Ball has announced on a talk show/podcast that Lonzo Ball is not happy with the Pelicans. That he believes he needs a bigger role.

First of all, before we continue, the Pelicans have not made their decision yet. They have no idea what is in store for this organization surrounding the four-year guard. Quite simply, even Lonzo doesn’t know. However, that may change. Why? Because he will be a restricted free agent next year.

LaVar has beef with HC Stan Van Gundy?

Mismanagement. Mismanagement is the word I would use to describe this and how he would too. LaVar Ball believes heavily that Stan Van Gundy is ruining his son and the potential he has on the Pelicans. Currently you have the threesome of Zion (overhyped), Ingram (great player), and then Lonzo. That is not a bad bunch to have within a organization… on paper.

Also, may I say that Stan Van Gundy is a sad HC. He has three really good players and great support but does not know how to properly manage them. Lonzo could be something but when he was with the Lakers that did not help; and now, because you have an idiot running the team.

This team should be .500 because of the talent of Ingram, Lonzo, and potentially Zion. Not 17-24 and having two other teams be tied in 11th with you. I’m just saying that is bad coaching and leadership of that team. My opinion, not everyone has to agree. Moving on.

Here is what LaVar Ball said exactly:

“No, he can’t stay in New Orleans,” LaVar said, via USA Today. “Come on, man. Come on, listen. … Lonzo’s always been a playmaker. Why are you trying to change him into a defensive specialist that stays in the corner and shoots 3s? And you’re trying to change Zion and Brandon Ingram who, all through their careers, have never been playmakers. Scorers! Now you want to put the ball in their hands and be playmakers? … Go score the ball and do what you do and guess what? They’re gonna have a hard time trying to win every game if the playmaker ain’t making the right plays.”  

A lot of truth to that statement he made. He knows Stan Van Gundy is a bad HC. The team knows it. In all honesty, he will be destroying this franchise like he did to the Pistons. Don’t believe? Look at where they are today, last year, and when Gundy took over.

I get Lonzo, if trying to change him for the better. But making the likes of Zion a playmaker is absolutely absurd. Right? Who knows what is going to happen, maybe his dreams will come true in the offseason or he will be defeated… again.

Despite the negative reactions coming from LaVar Ball, Lonzo himself has been doing terrific. Best season by far as a development and scoring. What do you guys think? Do you guys think he will be traded or no longer with the team after this offseason?
